As indicated in Table 1, the most commonly administered touch therapies were standard (Swedish) massage or foot massage, with far fewer patients receiving light touch massage. Fifty-five patients receivedmorethan one type of
touch therapy during the same session, i.e., some foot massage and some Swedish massage during a single session. Foot massage was predominantly used for inpatients; standard and light touch massage was more equally balanced between in- and outpatients. The most common presenting symptom was anxiety (397,31%), followed by pain (366, 28%) and fatigue (312, 24%). Fewer than 10% of patients reported greatest distress from depression, nausea or another symptom.
